Windows 7: laptop wireless card replacement???

I have a Compaq (HP) CQ60-418DX with a Atheros AR5007 and I am currently on a wireless G connection, my wife's netbook is getting better speeds then I am, I feel like I am on dial up still.

So anyone know of a good mini PCI express card for laptops with high performance? The card is mega easy to get at so the upgrade part will take less then 2 minutes, this laptop has ports for almost everything upgradeable on the laptop.

I want this upgrade so I can download the Free 3D models from DAZ3D for my artwork and to play a little America's Army 3 and Unreal Tournament. Yes I was a gamer once.

Oh or a driver that might work, I found a 32bit driver but running 64bit and not sure if that will work or not but I think finding a better card will serve me better over time, as I plan to upgrade everything I can along the way.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hm...I am not sure where you would be able to buy an internal wireless card...if it isn't a driver issue have you thought of an express card slot graphics card...like a linksys from Wal-Mart. I have a friend with one and he says it works great
